VL Jonelle T. McCoy http://www.jonellemccoy.com “There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.” Winston Churchill For Oklahoma woman artist Jonelle T. McCoy this famous quote rings quite true. Jonelle has found a cathartic release from years of inner strife and turmoil by painting her passionate emotions using horses on canvas. The Paso Fino breed she loves deeply connects with her through their spirit called brio, which is their heart and soul, and their astonishing beauty and intelligence. They give her the inspiration to breathe life onto canvas with a wide range of emotion through the use of expressive poses in movement alongside color for mood. Jonelle is a self taught artist whose professional life began with becoming a scenic artist since 1987. She retired in April 2014 to pursuing her career in fine art full time. She had always been artistic and could be found creating from early childhood. Five months after getting married in 2001 her husband’s disabling work injury caused the already emotionally complex artist to sink into a decade long spiral where her personal art suffered, and she laid down her brushes. She continued to work in the scenic arts, but that was using her talents for someone else’s ideas, not hers. In December of 2009 the blockage was released, her muse returned and she started to paint in earnest, at first rediscovering what she could do, and then after experimentation of a childhood art school project memory she developed her signature line style which has changed, evolved and refined in the last few years. Her chosen medium, heavy bodied acrylic paint, allows her further discovery with the introduction of new types, soft body, liquid, high flow and spray paint. She is giving thought to eventually trying oils again in the near future. Jonelle is a generous person at heart, and enjoys the reward of giving when she can, and her art has been her biggest way to do so. She’s donated to individuals, organizations and horse rescue efforts from the sale of paintings. She found that the small sized 60 day series she creates annually to help raise money for donation has given her a fantastic challenge to push for new ideas, and some have become studies for larger works.

http://mccoysgaitedhorseartworks.com Break Free 18x24 Jonelle feels that the painting of the horses has opened her life back up in a whole new way- connecting her with her inner self and clearing out the old stale distressing vibes and replacing them with a positive outlook and the ability to focus these emotions more easily to find peace in life. Like the antsy horse who’s been cooped up in a stall ready to fly out into the pasture to revel in life and release energy, she is ready to continue her quest to climb ever higher, excelling, stretching, exploring and evolving her art to be even more powerfully expressive to the viewer.
